So, I made a separate video and gave it a steam up today.
The Weeden No. 643 Tractor was introduced in 1924 and produced into 1937. The Tractor is 8 1/2' long, 4' wide and stands 11 1/2' tall.
Mine is a later version. Earlier versions had a spoked flywheel and a shorter firebox with a two wick burner. This was an eBay BIN purchase. It was complete with the four wick burner and smokestack. I have done nothing to it other than giving it a good oiling.

It was fun putting it all together.
And the SPS Jensen #5/5 performed admirably.
The 1/2 filled boiler ran for 30 minutes.

Sadly, we don't have many shows in Texas.
My solution to this problem was to create the Inaugural Txlabman Steam, Carnival & Farm Show In Miniature (Txlabman SC&FS 2019).
The Inaugural Txlabman SC&FS 2019 showcases the creations of St. Paul Steam (SPS).
The Steam Plant is a SPS Jensen #5/5
The Steam Plant is driving:
SPS Replica Empire Giant Stride Swings No. 48 with SPS Restored Empire B-34 Variable Speed Unit
SPS Replica Jensen Windmill
SPS Modified Ertl Water Pump
Also pictured, BUT NOT RUNNING:
SPS Modified Ertl Corn Shucker
SPS Modified Ertl Milk Separator
SPS Custom Jensen Water Funnel
SPS Custom Jensen Transmission
Demon Industries Chuff Pot and Water Tower (RIP Geoff)
The figures were made by James Barnett with Peacock Island Workshop LLC. Check out his Facebook Page:
